A whimsical visual survey of the house cat in art and popular
culture, exploring humanity’s enduring connection to one of our
most loved animal companions Cats have been beloved and depicted by
humans for millennia. These captivating animals appeared as worship
statuettes in ancient Egypt, in anthropomorphic illustrations in
Victorian England, and, today, in contemporary artwork, on fashion
runways, and as social media memes. Cat celebrates how our feline
friends have been depicted in art, popular culture, and history
across time and around the world.This vibrantly illustrated book
features more than 210 full-page images artfully arranged into
playful pairings. Filled with famous artworks, vintage
advertisements, classic animations, high-end fashion designs, and
more, the book presents a stunning array of imagery, from
maneki-neko lucky cats to artists’ pets, and ancient mosaics to
contemporary couture. Readers will find iconic pop-culture
characters, including Puss in Boots, the Cheshire Cat, and more,
renowned artists, such as Andy Warhol, Tracey Emin, Judy Chicago,
and Utagawa Hiroshige, and famed creatives, including street-style
photographer Jamel Shabazz and fashion designer Thom
Browne.Balancing style with substance, the book includes a foreword
by Hannah Shaw, also known as Kitten Lady, who declares that
celebrating the cat in images empathetically connects us to this
beloved animal, and an enlightening essay by curator Leila
Jarbouai, who traces humanity’s symbiotic relationship with cats
through the lens of art history. Featuring an elegant and
irresistible cover design depicting a curled-up black cat, this
charming volume revels in the undeniable appeal of this captivating
animal. Advisory panel: Yekaterina Barbash, Claire Catterall, Anja
